Sleep Measures in Men with Muscular Dystrophy, 53 Participants

53 adult male participants (15 with Beckers MD, 12 with Limb-Girdle MD, 12 with Fascioscapulohumeral MD, and 14 non-MD controls) completed assessments of sleep, body composition, quality of life, pain, fatigue, and function. The dataset includes objective 7-day 24-hour tri-axial accelerometer data and subjective sleep quality indices. Christopher Morse authored this dataset, last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Compare subjective and objective sleep measures based on PSQI and accelerometer data mentioned in the description
• Analyze associations between sleep quality and body composition based on bio-electrical impedance assessments
• Investigate relationships between sleep impairment and patient-reported outcomes like pain, fatigue, and quality of life
• Model differences in sleep patterns across muscular dystrophy subtypes (BMD, LGMD, FSHD) and controls

Strengths

• Includes data from 53 participants across four distinct clinical groups
• Combines 7-day 24-hour tri-axial accelerometer data with multiple validated self-report questionnaires (PSQI, ISI, SF36-v2, MFIS)
• Contains associated clinical measures like body composition, pain, fatigue, and functional assessments (Brookes and Vignos)

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is small at 19.5 KB, indicating limited scope
